The Christian Calvary on the Galgensberg Hill is a unique collection of 27 neo-gothic neoclassical buildings. You can find it between Nitriansky Pravny (formerly German Pravno, Deutsch-Proben ) and the local part of Solka .
The location of terrain objects from the foothill to the top of the hill was deliberately chosen, with the intention of creating a distinctive landscape dominant from Calvary, visible from a wide range. The initiator and founder of Calvary was local native and priest Anton Richter (1861-1942), the construction work was carried out in 1934-1937 . The lower part of the Calvary is dominated by the lower church - Chapel of the Lord's Supper , the central feature of the whole ensemble is the upper church - Chapel of the Crucifixion . The fourteen stopwalkers of the crossing of the Cross link a tortuous sidewalk , enriching the whole composition with further stops, representing the Passion and Symbolical Representations of the Passion and Glorification of Christ along with the themes of the Old Testament. Besides the masters from Slovakia, artists from Germany, Upper Austria and Bohemia participated in the decoration . Window sills , an altar of true Cararas marble , reliefs, sculptures ... all of this testifies to the exceptional and artistic quality of this sacred work . The upper part of the Calvary gives you a nice view of the Upper-Saxon basin .
The list of national cultural monuments in Slovakia was registered in 2014 . They built it in a Neo-Gothic style on the Galgensberg hill, above the former separate village of Solk . Interestingly, it consists of 27 masonry objects . There are two churches at the beginning and the end, 14 classical stops of the crossroad and 11 other chapels .
Nitrianske Pravno, at that time the small town of Deutsch Proben , inhabited almost exclusively the Carpathian Germans . The inspiration for the construction of the Calvary was a memorial and a commemoration of the 100th anniversary of the tragic fire of 1827 , during which a large part of the town was burned.
Preparations lasted for several years. Richter made a proposal for the construction of the Calvary by Franz Mayer, a Munich company, which also secured painting of paintings with cross-stitch designs. Richter's frames for paintings were requested by the Austrian artistic director Simon Raveder. At Karol Horn, a sculptor in Banská Bystrica, he ordered the reliefs of cara marble, which are installed in the chapels.
The residents were enthusiastic about the construction . It was attended by local craftsmen, often as volunteers. Many have donated their lands for this purpose; others have built the churches at their own expense; others have built the collections of believers. That's why the objects are up to 27, because of the extraordinary interest they built additional chapels. Thus, on the Calvary, as elsewhere in Slovakia, besides the traditional stops of the crossing, there were other passionate appearances. In the lower church, for example, it is a show of the Last Supper. In other chapels, it is Jesus again on the Mount of Olives, there are chapels of Judas' betrayal, Peter's preaching Jesus, Instruments of torture, but also the grave of God, Resurrection, or Assumption.
After the Second World War, when a large part of the German population had to escape, calvaria began to dull . The first major reconstruction of the buildings took place in the 1990s . But after 20 years , the calvar had to be repaired again . One third of the natives of foreigners contributed to the fathers of the calvary, and the believers gathered for the remainder.

HRADISKO The saddle beneath Vyšehrad was a strategic passage from Ponitria to Turca , already used in the beginnings of the settlement of Slovakia . The traces of settlement can be traced back to the hard-to-reach hill of Vyšehrad from the early Stone Age . Significant traces are associated with the Bronze Age and the people of the Lusatian culture (1200-700 BC) as well as with the later Iron Age (750 BC), from which many finds were found. The most important role was played by the fortification during the period of Great Moravia, when it was the center of the region . The settlement of the territory to the north required the construction of fortified sites, from which the power of Ponitria to Turca, Orava or Liptov was expanded. The defensive and commercial function of the Upper Castle gradually took over the surrounding settlements and after the demise of the Great Moravia its significance dropped. CASTLE VYŠEHRAD In the 13th century , the first written reports of Vyšehrad , which managed the Diviack family, appeared. Since 1277, it is reported that after the Mongol invasion, Vyšehrad was remembered only as a former castle . In the 15th century , part of the brothers, persecuted by the royal troops, resorted to Vyšehrad. From this period, finds of weapons , various iron objects , components of horse harnesses , corners , and especially coins are coming . NPR VYŠEHRAD The territory at the top is part of Vysehrad NPR. Vyšehrad is a national nature reserve since 1973 . A territory with the 4th degree of protection covers the top part of Vyšehrad and a large part of the western foothill with an area of more than 48 hectares. The object of the protection is the Vyšehrad limestone massif with forest vegetation and rare species of insects .
